America is about to change drastically — and it’s tearing the GOP apart [View all]

The quest to become a more perfect union always upsets the less perfect

Ted Cruz is mocking his fellow GOP Senators over their unwillingness to pretend they can defund Obamacare. Rand Paul and Chris Christie’s spat has turned into a spinoff of the Real Housewives of New Jersey/ Kentucky. And Republicans are openly contemplating how to drop the “conservative” brand all together and move toward something called “libertarian populism,” which requires the belief that Ayn Rand and Jesus had a baby and named it Ronald Reagan.



Republicans consciously or unconsciously understand that most regular Americans take for granted: the world is changing rapidly. But quickly it’s changing in a way that threatens any grasp conservative thought can have on a majority of voters.

In less than five years, a majority of American states will likely have legalized same-sex marriage, which I’m sure will please our first female president.

In a little more than a decade, the number of Latino voters will nearly double, making politics based nearly exclusively on wooing older white people irrelevant.

Meanwhile, the Internet will make politics increasingly dominated by young people who view the Republican Party as “closed-minded, racist, rigid, old-fashioned.”
